(1)

Cabaletta^b1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 102| D

10/3

Developed into a smart performer last term, winning at listed level prior to placed efforts in Group company. Not disgraced in York Group 2 on return and big player here. Blinkered.

Form: 41220-3

(4)

La Lune³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: H Candy| OR: 99

5/2

Ended 2020 on a low-key note but clearly freshened up by a break and better than ever when landing a Nottingham listed event (10.2f) in April. Conditions should be fine and she holds claims.

Form: 20300-1

(3)

National Treasure³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Haslam| OR: 78

80/1

Showed plenty of ability in 3 starts for Charlie Appleby but let go for just 15,000 gns and shaped as if needing the run when held in third in a Beverley novice in April. Work cut out up in grade.

Form: 34/2-3

(2)

Oriental Mystique²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D M Simcock| OR: 103

7/4

Useful operator who might do better at 4 and shaped as if she'd come on for the run when third in a listed event at Goodwood on reappearance. Big player.

Form: 52847-3

(6)

Wait For The Lord^h³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: D C Costello| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 90

18/1

Placed twice in bumpers and off the mark in a Lingfield novice (10f) in December. Hasn't gone without promise in handicaps subsequently but she may find a couple too good back at listed level.

Form: 416-484

Forecasts

Oriental Mystique (7/4), La Lune (5/2), Cabaletta (10/3), Salsada (13/2), Wait For The Lord (18/1), National Treasure (80/1)

ORIENTAL MYSTIQUE was a useful operator last season, that despite being unable to get her head in front, and she again ran well when a close-up third in a Goodwood listed event in April. She gets the nod to come out on top partnered by Oisin Murphy, with Cabaletta, now equipped with first-time blinkers, and La Lune heading up the dangers, in that order.
